Get the Home You Want this Year!

January 10, 2018

Happy New Year, Kansas City! Sit back, take a deep breath and envision for a moment where you’d like to be a year from today. Maybe it’s a new home. Maybe you are ready to downsize or upsize. Or maybe you finally want to tackle all of those home projects that will finally make your house feel like a home. And not just any home — your home.

If you start planning this month, you can have the home of your dreams. Your ReeceNichols agent can help alongside our friends at Zaarly to make sure that your current home or a brand new home is exactly the way you want it.

De-Clutter and Clean

You’d be surprised how much room your home has once you have had a professional organizer come in and work their magic. Whether you plan on staying put or not, organizing is a must. You don’t want to bring all of your clutter to your new place. De-cluttering is the most cost-effective way to create more space in your home. Once you’ve had a professional organizer come through, consider setting up regular cleaning to keep your home in tip-top shape.

Renovate Your Kitchen

Chances are you spent a lot of time in kitchens in December. Did you see something in your brother’s kitchen that you loved? Maybe all of that holiday cooking has you looking at new kitchen appliances? You don’t have to spend a fortune to transform your kitchen. For as little as $125, you can get started with a space you’ll love. If you are looking to do something extensive, it’s best to meet with a Zaarly service provider as soon as possible to start planning everything out. They will make sure you get the kitchen you want for the budget you need and in the time frame that works best for you.

Stay Ahead of Home Maintenance

Home maintenance is definitely not as exciting as a new kitchen or new paint in the bedroom, but it’s crucial to protect your investment and your family. Planning your home maintenance month by month will allow you to budget better and avoid running into unexpected emergencies.

Upgrade Your Flooring

Hardwood floors can completely transform your home! Before you start picking out wood samples, check under the existing carpet. Some people are surprised when they find hardwood floors underneath the carpet. If you have hardwood floors, a lot can be done to make them look good as new.

Paint

Has your daughter moved beyond purple everything? Are you finally tired of that builder’s white paint? When all of the guests have left, start picking up paint chips at the hardware store and a few cans of sample paint. Starting this process early in the year means you’ll have plenty of time to sit with a color before making a final decision. Waiting till the early spring can also give you an opportunity to see paint samples on your wall in winter and spring light.
